Summary

A heist by the Serenity crew goes badly wrong in a captivating original Firefly tie-in novel from the award-winning series by Titan Books.

City of sin

Neapolis: a desert city on planet Bethel where all manner of entertainment is found: High-stakes gambling, luxurious hotels, exclusive clubs, and any form of diversion imaginable may be had for a price. It’s the eve of the annual carnival: three days of decadent revelry, and Serenity arrives to take a security job, guarding a costly shipment.

An unattainable ransom

Tragedy strikes: The shipment is stolen, and the wealthy owner kidnaps Zoë and Book, holding them to ransom for the lost shipment’s value. If Mal can’t find the enormous sum of 500 platinum by the next evening, both of them will be killed.

A race against time

As the carnival begins, the crew must attempt the impossible, calling on contacts, calling in favors, and revealing hidden talents to save their crewmates’ lives. Meanwhile, the hostages have their own plans....

Just what the doctor ordered

Such a great book, a lot less dark than some of the other books in this series, but still with sufficient peril to keep the story tense.

Nice to see Inara and the Shepherd have such prominent roles as well.

As ever, wonderfully read.

A decent scratch for the Firefly itch

Personally I think this series of books are better enjoyed through audio than reading them.
The narrator does a decent job with the characters, though some ring truer than others.
The stories are always a little on the plain Jayne side but that’s probably just because nothing can beat the actual series.

I've been listening to these stories as they've been coming out. as a firefly fan I love the way they are continuing a series that should have gone on forever.

More Firefly, yes please.

Great entry as always however not as good as the others. I like the character development in these books. As a fan of the series i was dubious about these books, now I can't wait for the next editions.

A different direction for the 6th book

Where as the first 5 books seem to follow one another, this story is set between episodes of the original series. It shows a really different story and helps you get to know the characters you love even better. As with all the audio books in this series the voices are performed beautifully by James Anderson Foster and it has been a delight to revisit the ‘verse through these lovely exciting and brilliant stories.

A thoroughly enjoyable audiobook

An excellent listen with plenty of action, thrills, and spills. It's great to see how this band of disparate misfits can gel together for good. I Definitely recommend listening to it.
